Creating a Plugin using .NET

My apologies again for not responding sooner.

Just in case you are still following this thread, we reviewed our plugin code along with the documentation for plugins and found a mistake in the documentation.  MDPLUGIN_MSG should be used instead of WM_COPYDATA to pass log data back to MDaemon. 

Here is an updated example:

void _stdcall PreMessageFunc(HWND Parent, const char* File)

{

       COPYDATASTRUCT Packet;

       char Buffer[512];

       _snprintf_s(Buffer, _TRUNCATE, "Now processing: %s", File);

       Packet.dwData = MDPLUGIN_DISPLAY;

       Packet.cbData = strlen(Buffer);

       Packet.lpData = Buffer;

       SendMessage(Parent, MDPLUGIN_MSG, 0, (LPARAM)(PCOPYDATASTRUCT)&Packet);

       // Do some processing on File

       strcpy(Buffer, "----------");

       Packet.cbData = strlen(Buffer);

       Packet.lpData = Buffer;

       SendMessage(Parent, MDPLUGIN_MSG, 0, (LPARAM)(PCOPYDATASTRUCT)&Packet);

}

We also updated the documentation to include details about the WPARAM value (0 or 1) that should be passed for the InlineFuncUsesPluginLog option and optimized some of the plugin code.

These changes will be included in MDaemon 19.0.2.

And after spending time writing up the previous post, and previewing it, and making sure that everything is readable etc, only half my posting actually shows up, and ins imply truncated half way through.

This forum is therefore utterly useless and I will not waste any more of my time sharing anything here.
